This recipe was given to me by my friend, neighbor and co-worker Pat Fritz. I laugh because she wrote this recipe on a pink "Important Message" pad from the office. Pat is no longer with us. Thank you Pat for leaving this recipe with me, it is a crowd pleaser.

This beautiful picture was taken in Newland, NC by a lovely woman Carol Garland earlier today.
A co-worker shared this picture with me. Her friend Carol, whom I have heard so many wonderful things about, took this picture from her front porch this morning.
Darian and I enlarged the picture and you can see so many little birds in the tree branches and the porch just waiting to get a turn to eat. She must feed them well.
Carol you have a such a heavenly view. So peaceful. I also love your porch.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Friends we would love to see your photos, please share below.

Frosty crab-apples, snow balls, snowy roads to just looking at winter from inside. Warm up with hot-cocoa and homemade marshmallow in a snowflake design.
This dish is the ultimate in quick-fix cooking. It's packed with the bold flavor of a double-duty sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger. This salty-sweet mixture marinates the flank steak and serves as the base of the cooking liquid.
This dish is the ultimate in quick-fix cooking. It's packed with the bold flavor of a double-duty sauce made with soy sauce, brown sugar and ginger. This salty-sweet mixture marinates the flank steak and serves as the base of the cooking liquid.
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons sherry
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound flank steak, trimmed of fat and sliced very thin against the grain
3 tablespoons peanut or olive oil
1 pound broccoli florets
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup oyster sauce
Salt as needed (use sparingly)
Chow Mein, for serving
In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sherry, brown sugar, ginger and garlic. Pour half the liquid over the sliced meat in a bowl and toss with your hands. Reserve the other half of the liquid and set aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet (iron is best) or wok over high heat. Add the broccoli and stir for a minute. Remove to a plate.
Allow the skillet to get very hot again. With tongs, add the meat in a single layer. Spread out the meat as you add it to skillet, but do not stir for a good minute. (You want the meat to get as brown as possible in as short amount a time as possible.) Turn the meat to the other side and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove to a clean plate.
Pour the reserved sauce into the skillet along with the beef broth and oyster sauce. Cook over high heat until it starts to thicken. Add the beef and broccoli back into the skillet and toss to coat. Season with salt if needed
